This is a bit of local blogging so forgive me for that.

Very very very condensed background - I live in the NE PA area. Most of you may only be vaguely area that there's an enormous corruption scandal in Luzerne County right now. So far, three judges have been indicted and removed from office and there have been a whole bunch of other people pleading guilty for kickbacks. There are allegations of case fixing. It's an utter disaster, complete and total disaster. The public, quite rightly, assumes that the "justice" system is anything but.

So. That's the background to explain why I just flailed and gaped over this.

Luzerne County Senior Judge arrested for assault.

This guy was specifically appointed by the PA Supreme Court to come into Luzerne County to hear cases since the Court is so backed up.  What does he do?  Apparently, choke his wife.

What the fucking hell!  Seriously, if Grisham wrote a novel with this stuff in it, his editor would laugh him out of the building.
